Animals Can’t TalkRescue and Adoption, Inc.
Annual Report
2010/2011
Get to Know Us!We are Animals Can’t Talk Rescue and Adoption Inc. Thank
you for your interest in our non-profit organization. In this presentation we will try to give you an overview of who we are and what we have accomplished this past year. We are a 501c-3 rescue. We strive to save as many unwanted, abused, neglected and lost animals as possible.
Our focus is to find each and every one a good home.All are veterinarian checked, inoculated, treated (when
necessary), spayed and neutered (our primary thrust) and cared for until adopted.

We House Our Rescue Animals in PetSmart located in Stroudsburg, PA
Every Saturday, our President, Naomi Gauntlett and her volunteers hold adoptions at PetSmart. Every person working for the rescue is a volunteer, so all money donated to
ACT is strictly used for the animals.
Re-Home Program
Currently, ACT does not house dogs. If a customer wishes to adopt a dog, we can search high kill shelters and hopefully find their new companion.
However, we have started a new program where we offer assistance to those who need to re-home so the dogs don’t end up in shelters.

To subsidize our costs, we hold various fundraisers in our community. We regularly set up a donation area in front of Wal-Mart, held a Basket Bingo, two Low Cost Vaccination Clinics (one with a Dog Fashion Show directly afterwards), had a dinner at Texas Roadhouse Steakhouse, held two Adopt A Stray Days, participated in a Community Day, and Sold Bon Ton Coupon Books.

online search engine that donates a portion of the proceeds to charity. Our animals are featured on PIBCO, an online broadcasting company.
ACT also pulls animals from high kill shelters in NYC, and is a member of the Mayor’s Alliance.
